Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.

…

The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.

Google is NOT a company I am fond of... I mean they are a VERY big company now and really... TOO BIG for their own good!

Google has become known as a 'spy-happy' company by the intelligent, computer literate and know that Google is one company to stay AWAY from, Free or Not!

They have hired individuals who make their living as a spy in governmental agencies and the likes to help them in their efforts of spying on us.

In fact, that is what their Google toolbar is all about! It digs in to your info on your computer and tracks just about everything you do online. Google also NEVER DELETES ANYTHING anymore and keeps all data they ever collect on you or anyone.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF POWER GOOGLE WILL HAVE WHEN MANY FOLKS DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THEIR Operating System????!!!

WOW!!!

People... come on... DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! As my father always told me as a kid, THINK before your act!!!

Now-a-days, I think, research and then act accordingly.

If you need to respond to something immediately, go with your gut feeling, but make sure you are reading it correctly by practising using it on all your decisions.

We've been waiting on Google's web browser's extensions for quite some time ... Up to now I've installed and used 5 plugins and am awed with them. The latest Firefox has recently lagged and the plugins are necessary.

Something more important is that while looking for a good internet electronics retail outlet, look for web stores that are continuously updated, always keeping up-to-date with the most current products, the most effective deals, along with helpful information on products and services. This will ensure you are dealing with a shop which stays on top of the competition and offers you what you ought to make knowledgeable, well-informed electronics buys. Thanks for the vital tips I have learned through the blog.

I do like the way you have presented this specific issue plus it really does offer me personally some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, coming from what precisely I have experienced, I really hope as the commentary pack on that men and women stay on point and in no way start upon a tirade of the news of the day. Still, thank you for this outstanding piece and even though I do not necessarily concur with the idea in totality, I respect the perspective.

I'm now not sure the place you are getting your information, however great topic. I must spend a while learning much more or working out more. Thank you for great information I was searching for this info for my mission.
